Xvextrex - A GCE Vectrex Emulator v2

* Emulator has been "Madmab'ized" and now has all the benefits that come from using the x-port/madmab interface including.  Xtras support, Pixel Perfect, Cheat codes, remappable controls, blah blah blah.

* We can now turn on/off the overlay and analog stick support in per game configuration.

* Improved the vector drawing even more (actually all I did was figure out how to get some of the vector drawing code from Vectrex SDL to work on the xbox).

* Implemented save state handling.  This also means that rewind works as well.

* Just like with Messtrix the BIOS ROM is selectable now between "Default", "Fast Intro" and "Skip Intro".  Remember some games/homebrew do not like "Skip Intro".

* Better overlay support (clearer).

* Some speed improvement in the Vectrex emulation.  Like it really needed it.  :P


**********
* Issues *
**********

* Not 100% sure but I saw comments from emulator coders that the vector drawing code is off just enough to make some of the overlays not line up correctly.

* Still no DAC sound support.  Unlikely to happen in the XVectreX core.

Xvextrex v1b1(by madmab)

* Fixed a bug where if you start a game, press start, display the file list and press start again the emu would get stuck in a loop.

* Added Analog joystick support (use xbox controller left analog stick).  Games like HyperChase should be playable now.

* Xbox controller 2 (in port 2) is now supported for two player goodness.

* Fixed issue where sound was still a little off (Now comparable to Dingo / SDL port).

* Fixed issue where some of the pixels on the right edge of the game screen were being chopped off (all good things, another space invaders).

Thank you Rojola for the french translation.

Xvectrex is an xbox port of vecx, a vectrex emulator. (see http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/~manohv/vectrex.html)
The screen and joystick are emulated.

* Don't forget.  ROMs need to be unzipped.

* Added in overlay support from Vectrex SDL version

* Added in sound support from Vectrex Dingo (note: Annoying buzz sound fixed)

* Emulator now remembers the location of last selected rom.

* I included some extra system ROM files.  To use them just rename them to "rom.dat".  They are "fast.dat" and "skip.dat".  Warning: Some games don't like "skip.dat".

* Filename are displayed in full case.  Sort code modified to handle this.

* To Do *

+ Overlay positioning and/or size may be off just a little.

+ Maybe alternate controller configurations?

+ Convert to madmab edition interface.
